a The table shows the simple average applied tariff rates, calculated across all tariff lines, for each arrangement 
(reciprocal and non-reciprocal) of the EC;  thus, if a part icular arrangement has a mix of both preferential and 
MFN rates, the average across all applicab le rates is taken.  In the case of tariff quotas, out-of-quota tariff rates are 
used.  Certain countries fall under several groupings depending on the number of schemes they are eligible for 
under the EC's preferential regime.
